賣家描述
Scientific name: Oviraptor cf philoceratops, Osborn 1924. Fossilized Egg. form Macroolithus yaotunensis (Elongatoolithidae)
Location: Gobi Desert, Eastern Asia
Geological Formation: Djadokhta Formation
Age: Upper Cretaceous, Campanian stage, (~75 Million Years)
Size: 21 x 8,5 x 5cm
REF.: #J745
DESCRIPTION:
Oviraptor eggs from the Late Cretaceous Djadokhta Formation (Gobi Desert in Eastern Asia) are elongated, ridge-textured, and were originally mistaken for Protoceratops prey, but subsequent finds of embryos (e.g., IGM 100/971) confirmed they belong to Oviraptor.
These eggs, often arranged in pairs within circular, brooding nests, demonstrate that these theropods displayed bird-like nesting behavior.
Key Details on Djadokhta Oviraptor Eggs:
Initial Misconception: Discovered in 1923 by Roy Chapman Andrews, they were thought to be stolen eggs from Protoceratops, leading to the name "egg thief".
Brooding Evidence: Fossil finds, such as the one described in 1993, showed that the adult was not stealing the eggs, but instead brooding, or sitting on, its own nest.
Egg Characteristics: The eggs are of the form Macroolithus yaotunensis (Elongatoolithidae). They are characterized by their elongated shape (approx. 163–198 mm long) and a surface with ridges aligned to the long axis.
Embryo Discoveries: Significant specimens include IGM 100/971 (first known theropod embryo) and others from sites like Ukhaa Tolgod, which solidified the link between the eggs and the parent.
Nesting Structure: Eggs were arranged in pairs, forming a circular, open, or partially covered nest, often with 15 or more eggs.
Pigmentation: Research on oviraptorid samples suggests these eggs possessed pigments, likely giving them a blue-green color, similar to some modern birds.
These discoveries were crucial in bridging the understanding of the relationship between dinosaurs and modern birds.
Observations abour our specimen: It is completely natural, unrestored. It only has some small eggshell fragments that have been glued. A large percentage of its surface remains intact, with only some areas losing its shell. Its size is incredibly large compared to the average for this species. A true investment-grade marvel.
All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our database verification system on our website.
